Roundabout on time and on budget
Centre landscaping yet to be completed Steven Heywood News staff
Drivers have been using Sidney’s new roundabout at Fifth Street and Ocean Avenue for a few weeks and all that’s left to complete it is landscaping in the centre. Sidney Mayor Larry Cross says most of the comments he has received about the project so far have been positive (while he does admit there have been a couple of grousing comments), with many people looking at the roundabout as a traffic calming feature. It tends, he continued, to slow traffic coming into town from Lochside Drive. The project, which was funded by the federal and provincial government gas tax fund and not by Sidney taxpayers, is keeping to its $1.57 million budget, said the mayor. “As far as I know, it is,” he said. “There have been no panicked messages from staff which is always a positive sign on any project.” The work is mostly complete and ahead of schedule. Cross said the roundabout was scheduled to be complete by the end of June. It’s looking like it will be done by early to midJune instead. “That’s good news,” Cross said. Landscaping around the roundabout and in its centre is the next step. Cross said the town plans to put some temporary plants into the middle of the roundabout — shrubs, trees and other greenery. The long-term plan, he said, is to create a centerpiece incorporating the branding information developed by the new business improvement area (BIA) board as well as details from an ongoing wayfinding signage program. Cross said a final concept plan for the space will probably be ready for consideration in late fall. The mayor added there is no official opening planned for the roundabout, as it has already been in use for a few weeks.

Moore calls for Duffy to resign
VANCOUVER — The senior federal Conservative cabinet minister from B.C. is calling on Senator Mike Duffy to resign in the wake of a growing scandal over improper repayment of expenses. Heritage Minister James Moore, the MP for Port MoodyWestwood-Port Coquitlam, told CTV Tuesday Duffy should resign altogether. Duffy has already quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate after the disclosure that Nigel Wright, chief of staff for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, gave the embattled senator a cheque for $90,000 to repay expenses that may have been improperly claimed.

Crews with Pro Tech Industrial Moving out of Delta, B.C. have been transporting pieces of a ship-loading coal conveyor built by Ramsay Machine Works of the West Sidney industrial area to a waiting barge in Patricia Bay. The machine is bound for Neptune Bulk Terminals in Vancouver. The job is part of a $20 million contract between Neptune, EMS-Tech of Bellville, Ontario and Ramsay. The move is expected to wrap up over the next couple of weeks as the machine is dismantled and trucked across the tarmac of the Victoria airport. — Steven Heywood

Dix didn’t specify a time frame for the election postmortem, but said he will work to prepare the NDP opposition to hold the government to its election commitments. “I assure you this review will spare nothing and no one, least of all me,” Dix told a news conference Wednesday. —Black Press

Crew members of the MV Klitsa (the Mill Bay Ferry) saved a couple and their dog from a sinking boat in Saanich Inlet.
couple rescued by B.c. Ferries crew Peter Rusland News staff
A nautical couple is cheering B.C. Ferries’ crew members after the pair and its pooch were rescued from their sinking boat Monday in Saanich Inlet. Ferries spokesman Darin Guenette explained two sailors from the MV Klitsa answered the couple’s mayday, then launched a Zodiac-type rescue craft at 1:50 p.m. about half way between Mill Bay to Brentwood Bay. “They responded to a call from a 16-foot Bayliner apparently taking on water,” he told Black Press. “They launched their rescue boat, and got two people and their dog off,” Geunette said, noting the couple and its dog were taken aboard the Klitsa en route to Brentwood. “This whole event was initiated by
the Queen of Cumberland that heard the distress, and radioed the Klitsa.” Queen of Cumberland serves the Swartz Bay-southern Gulf Islands route. Reasons for the Bayliner’s foundering, near Senanus Island, were unknown at press time Tuesday. The rescue delayed Klitsa’s crossing by half an hour, he said. The Klitsa boasts six crew members who, like all Ferries’ crew staff, are trained in marine emergency rescue, noted Guenette. The Mill Bay ferry has been on the Crown corporation’s chopping block in recent years. It’s been saved by citizens claiming the ferry is needed as an emergency service, and for safety reasons such as Monday’s rescue. — Cowichan News Leader Pictorial/ Black Press

• The District finalized its 2013 to 2017 five-year financial plan. This year North Saanich will collect an estimated $11 million in taxes, with total revenues of $16.4 million (including utility fees, sales of services and transfers from other governments). Their budget is balanced, spending $17.2 million — making the difference up by using cash ($1.96 million) from reserve accounts. • The District of North Saanich gets 67.4 per cent of its annual revenue from property taxes. Of those taxes, the majority (71.5 per cent) is paid by residents. Business pays 22.9 per cent of the tax load, followed by light industry (three per cent), recreation or non-profit (2.2 per cent), farms (0.2 per cent) and utilities (0.1 per cent). An additional 26.2 per cent of the district’s overall revenue comes from user fees and charges. The remainder comes from other revenue and grants. • Council adopted its 2013 tax rates. Based on a rate per every $1,000 in property value, homeowners will pay 1.8246 dollars. Add in Capital Regional District (0.4844) and regional hospital (0.3) taxes, that rate ends up at 2.6 dollars. Industrial properties will pay a total of 13 dollars per $1,000. • Water parcel rates in North Saanich this year will be zero dollars. The water infrastructure replacement parcel rate will be $100. The sewer collection system specific area parcel tax in the district’s southeast quadrant will be $801.75. The district’s overall sewer parcel tax will be $42. • Council approved a grant application for a project to develop a joint strategic plan with the Tseycum First Nation.

Students go Green in Saanich North and the Islands Student Vote program helps teach democracy Steven Heywood News staff
Underage voters across B.C. gave the NDP a majority government in an exercise in teaching democracy to students in this province. Students in elementary, middle and high schools — including Parkland Secondary in North Saanich — participated in Student Vote, a parallel election program coinciding with the recent B.C. election. The approximately 100,000 votes, which did not count in the general election of course, gave the NDP a 54-seat majority, followed by the B.C. Liberals with 20 and the Green Party with eight seats. In Saanich North and the Islands, students cast 1,343 votes and awarded the seat to Adam Olsen of the Green Party with 657 votes. Next was the NDP’s Gary Holman (443), B.C. Liberal Stephen Roberts (165) and independent candidate Scott McEachern (78). Of those votes, Stelly’s Secondary cast 486, Parkland 202, Gulf Islands Secondary 338, and 317 from middle and elementary schools in the riding. The Student Vote exercise during the 2009 provincial election had similar results, giving the Greens the riding, followed by the NDP then the Liberals. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Local preschool celebrates 40 years Nancy Dobbs says goodbye after 12 years of teaching at Countryside Preschool Devon MacKenzie News staff
Countryside Preschool is celebrating the big 4-0 next month as well as saying goodbye to a long-time teacher. On June 8, the preschool will host a day of fun in celebration of 40 years of Countryside at St. Stephen’s Church. The day will also mark a celebration of Nancy Dobbs’ hard work. “Countryside is an amazing place,” said parent volunteer Rachel Fisher. “It really brings people together and the mix of ages in the school is really great for socialization. “We’re lucky to have a place like this.” Countryside is a cooperative preschool, meaning parents who can, volunteer at the school up to three times a month, something Fisher said is extremely important to her. “I can be here every so often and I get to see her learn and grow. It really is great.” The preschool, which has been operating out of St. Stephen’s Church hall (although it is secular) in the Newton Valley for 40 years has been run by Early Childhood Educator (ECE) Nancy Dobbs for

the past 12 years. “This school is very unique in the fact that it’s multi age as well as a co-op preschool,” said Dobbs. “I’ve really loved working with the parents and the children and sharing in education with them.”
Dobbs was the recipient of the B.C. Childcare Award of Excellence last year through a nomination by a group of parents from the school. “I was very touched by the sense of community and the appreciation the parents had for myself and the school,”
said Dobbs of the award. Among her many other roles in running Countryside, Dobbs has also made it a priority to offer parent education nights at the school once a month to help teach the parent volunteers about ECE.
In her retirement, Dobbs will be focusing on music, another love of hers that she shares with the children at Countryside. “I’m looking forward to pursuing more musicrelated things but I’m also very happy that I’ll be able to come back to Countryside and volunteer with the kids as well,” said Dobbs, who plans to help out at the school often. The new ECE taking over at the school, Madelaine Hittos, is also keen on music, and Dobbs said she is happy music will continue on in the school through her. The open air picnic takes place June 8 from 3 to 7 p.m. in the field behind St. Stephen’s Church (7921 St. Stephen’s Rd.) All are welcome to attend, especially alumni of the school. There will be a barbecue, a silent auction, a bake sale, games for children and more.

OUR VIEW
Sidney doing its part Sidney is taking a stab at seriously reducing its carbon footprint. Its purchase of five electric vehicle charging stations is great news for the growing consumer base of battery-powered cars and trucks. Technology is taking leaps and bounds in this industry, as more and more vehicle manufacturers are offering electric and hybrid options. All they need to keep going is charging stations. Without them, the electric vehicle movement could suffer a fate experienced by the so-called hydrogen highway — a concept of hydrogen-powered vehicles using fuelling stations up and down the west coast of North America. That plan didn’t really come to pass. Sidney is taking the lead in ensuring electric vehicles don’t follow that same path. The five stations they officially unveiled last week could soon be joined by up to a halfdozen more at the Mary Winspear Centre. As well, the Best Western Plus Emerald Isle hotel and Smitty’s restaurant have added one of their own. Sidney just might have the most charging stations for a community of its size right now. And why not? Located at the terminus of two ferry runs (Swartz Bay and the Anacortes Ferry), Sidney is a great spot for electric vehicle owners to stop and charge up before they head into Victoria or up-Island. The town itself has purchased an electric car and plans to do so as its existing vehicle fleet reaches its replacement age. Over the intervening years, the technology is sure to advance and perhaps one day the town will also be able to replace its heavy equipment with electric counterparts. Other initiatives that can help reduce the town’s impact on the environment include its new roundabout at Fifth Street and Ocean Avenue. Fewer cars sitting at stop signs at the idle means less emissions. As global carbon dioxide levels remain a concern to the environment, Sidney is well on its way to doing its part. What do you think?

both countries in our home and we are currently planning yet another trip to Asia. Hosting a student isn’t for everyone and not everyone who hosts a foreign student will become so interested in their culture they will travel to the far corners of the earth. Indeed, there are many reasons for hosting; some do it for the money, some because they want to show the foreigner what this country is like and some because they want to take that small peek into another culture. It is, however, an interesting experience and you never know, you may try it and later find yourself in some exotic place you had never dreamed of visiting. Groups of students from other lands are arriving frequently in Victoria and if you would like to try hosting I can help. We have a group of young Japanese girls arriving in late July for a short-term stay, just nine days and this could be an opportunity for you to try hosting in a small way to see if you like it. If you’re interested, I can be reached at wendy@edutour.ca. You may be surprised at where this can lead.

LETTERS Find better solutions, don’t create new problems
U
rbanization of North Saanich would create unforeseen problems. We do need space for farming, recreation and leisure. Before plastering the last green spots on the Peninsula we have to calculate the consequences. Should business, industry and developers dictate the future of North Saanich? The Sandown issue was indefinitely delayed to do more research, why then should a dense development proposal — that is out of proportion — be rushed through, in spite of all the protest from
residents? Council has to honour the voice of the community, not just listen to what industry and businesses want. Here are a couple of suggestions: • First fill in existing places available before adding new ones. • Take more time to think this through and find a better solution for a problem — not create new ones. • Involve people with expertise and knowledge in urban growth. • Make a serious market analysis and stick to slow growth as agreed in the OCP. Rapid urbanization comes with a
price nobody is willing to pay. So far North Saanich has one of the lowest crime rates in B.C. — but for how long? • Involve a number of residents to oversee the development, to make sure that affordable houses become a) affordable and b) end up in the right hands • If you can’t build affordable houses, do some research about land trust. • Let’s make a compromise: first build 10 houses and see what happens, before starting big. • Countryside is an important fac-
tor for a healthy lifestyle. Many people flee the hectic city life to live in a rural environment. Now the city follows them even into the last resorts. • Educate yourself and see that more development does not bring in more money but would cost more — contrary to what we heard repeatedly from developers. Council is entrusted with the stewardship of land to ensure that it is not compromising future generations. Hildegard Horie North Saanich
Readers respond: A positive campaign, definition of local food, expensive ramp, branding Thanks to the voters While the outcome of the election in this constituency is still uncertain, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the voters, my fellow candidates, and to all of the incredible supporters and volunteers on my campaign. In this age of cynicism about the political process, I am also very proud to have represented the progressive platform and positive campaign put forward by our party and leader. Gary Holman B.C. NDP Candidate Saanich North and the Islands
What is the CFIA thinking? The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has lost it. Instead of diligently checking to assure us of the safety of imported goods shipped in from far beyond Canadian borders, they are instead pursuing “local” producers who depend upon the support of consumers to remain in business. In addition to the province-wide determination, they have added 50 kilometers beyond the provincial borders — how interesting. Apples from Washington State, fish products from Alaska are
now “local”. Maybe soon they will designate anything produced in North America as “local”. Then there is the caveat that it won’t be enforced — so why change a designation that we all know and understand? Thank heavens for farmer’s markets. We know and respect Saltspring lamb, maybe soon it will be Central Saanich carrots. Anything to let us know we are supporting the local producer which seems to have escaped the minds of Ottawa bureaucrats. Marjorie Denroche North Saanich
Ramp costs too much With reference to the May 17 article Ramp Request Defeated in a Tie, several relevant items were not reported. The upgrading of the Old Moose Hall in Saanichton (originally the Orange Hall built in the late 1890s) has had overwhelming support in the community. My general contractor, architect and two engineers have worked with municipal staff to ensure all current code requirements have been met. Wheelchair accessibility was included in the development plan and washrooms and a service counter have already been constructed and installed.
The issue of the wheelchair ramp, which is over 50 feet in length, is now at a cost of over $40,000 which has now made this cost prohibitive. The point which has been overlooked is that a renovation of this type of building does not, by code, require accessibility via ramp. At the public hearing for the project, accessibility issues were not addressed by the public or by the council regarding the approval of the development permit. We have strived to meet every code requirement in re-purposing this old building. To our customers and friends we will continue to do our best, as we would like to re-open The Old Attic as soon as possible. Vic Clive Central Saanich
I’ll keep visiting Sidney Re: Sidney brand in the works, Wednesday, May 15, 2013 After reading story ‘Sidney brand in the works’ and letters to the editor in the May 15 edition of the Peninsula News Review, it struck me what’s not working in the community’s business district and why residents from other municipalities might not feel welcome to shop there.
Thinking back to previous reads, the same underlying and conflicting message was printed in hundreds of Peninsula News Review issues I’ve read from cover to cover: ‘Come and visit Sidney, but don’t stay!’ Locals and officials who promote the Town of Sidney as a place to visit and shop without encouraging their guests to stay long-term (in new developments) is a contradiction. You can’t promote the town
as a ‘great place to do business’ without encouraging the same customer to live there. Very few communities do this and thrive year round — they’re the ones that remain sleepy little resort towns for 10 months of the year. Good luck Sidney. Either direction you follow, I’ll continue to visit and enjoy a bakery stop and shoreline walk. B. Munro Central Saanich

PENINSULA NEWS NEWS REVIEW REVIEW -- Friday, Friday, May May 24, 24, 2013 2013 PENINSULA
Preservation of old age benefits Both the minimum and maximum thresholds are adjusted annually for inflation. Through careful planning — even prior to retirement — full OAS benefits might be preserved. If, even after allowable pensionsplitting is considered, an investor’s RRSP is projected to eventually threaten the OAS benefit, the holder may opt to convert his RRSP to a RRIF, and commence earlier withdrawals from the plan. The intent would be to draw sufficient funds from the RRIF to ensure the total annual income remains below the minimum $71,000 at which claw-back begins to erode the OAS benefit. Another option for the investor is to begin contributing less to RRSPs and instead, fully maximize his/her TaxFree Savings Account (TFSA) eligibility. Neither future income nor capital drawn from TFSAs is considered as income for tax purposes. Hence, OAS eligibility remains intact. The OAS benefit is of great value to the average retiree. If a retiree were for example, to receive the full $6,550 annual payment for 25 years, indexed at two per cent annually for inflation, he/she would need approximately $120,000 of extra capital, invested at a five per cent annual return, to match it. The potential loss of this guaran-

Financial Savvy teed long-term benefit with such significant
capital value is clearly worth protecting. Advance planning, well before retirement, may preserve the full OAS value in retirement. Some of you may say, great advice, but it’s too late — you are now retired and already subject to an OAS clawback. Consult with your accountant to determine if it might make sense to make one large RRIF withdrawal, with
its obvious tax consequence, so that future years’ income levels are kept below the claw-back threshold. In short, it is neither too early, nor too late, to utilize tax planning as a key to enhancing retirement income.

lthough most financial investments carry some degree of risk, investors can, with forethought, control much of that risk. One of the greatest investment oversights is lack of focus on minimizing taxes on investment portfolios — often resulting in unnecessarily high income taxes. A major example is the tax obligation incurred through the partial or total claw-back of OAS benefits. While still in the accumulation phase, the tax-exempt nature of RRSPs allows investors to be unconcerned about tax consequences. However, longer-range tax planning, even for RRSP accounts, is in order. All RRSP accounts must eventually be converted to Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs) by age 71; draws on the RRIFs must commence no later than age 72. Well before the draws commence, the investor needs to project what the mandatory 7.48 per cent withdrawal (at age 72) will mean to his total annual income. Should the total income be projected to exceed $71,000, the Old Age Security entitlement will be subject to claw-back. At roughly $115,000 annual income, the full OAS benefit, currently about $6,550, would be totally clawed back.

Your typical money laundering case doesn’t usually include more than $2 million actually immersed in water. But that is exactly what happened in the case of a Lake Cowichan man found guilty in a Victoria courthouse earlier this month. A sentencing date awaits Jeffrey Melchior, who was convicted May 2 of money laundering and possession of property obtained by crime, Crown spokeswomen Sujata Raisinghani told Black Press via email from Ottawa. Melchior is not in custody while awaiting sentencing and Crown declined to comment about penalties his charges could carry. His conviction follows an adventure akin to a Hollywood movie. November 2011 saw the tightest police security ever seen at RCMP headquarters in Victoria as Mounties announced they’d seized more than US $2.6 million in one of
Canada’s largest seizures of laundered money. RCMP Supt. Derek Simmonds, of B.C.’s federal Border Integrity program, said the money was fished from waters near Sidney in March 2011. That nighttime haul happened after the pilot of a suspicious, fast-moving boat — without running lights — tossed a suitcase overboard as an RCMP patrol boat was about to intercept it. After recovering the suitcase, police arrested Melchior, then 44. He was charged with possession of property obtained by crime and laundering proceeds of crime. The recovered bundles of bills were wrapped in plastic. Melchior offered two explanations when he was stopped: first, that he was scouting dive sites; then that he was on his way to meet a woman. “Neither explanation made any sense,” Victoria’s Times Colonist quoted Crown lawyer Sharon Steele telling
the court earlier this month. Judge Ernie Quantz said criminal activity was the logical explanation for Melchior’s presence in a small vessel travelling without lights near the CanadaU.S. border, in an area known for smuggling activity, the Colonist says. In April, Judge Quantz issued a 24-page decision on matters of evidence. He said Melchior was properly detained and questioned, his rights weren’t breached when his mobile device was searched without a warrant, and the messages were admissible. Text messages recovered from his mobile device recounted a conversation between him and someone in the U.S. expressing concern about “bikes” and “birds” – possibly referring to coast guard boats and helicopters, the Colonist reports. Simmonds said the five-metre, rigid-hull, inflatable boat was just two nautical miles — six minutes — away from

the U.S. border when police intercepted it. Melchior was unarmed, unknown to police, and was the only person aboard. If it hadn’t been for Melchior allegedly moving at high speed toward the international border, on a route known to smugglers, the RCMP’s border-integrity operations centre might have missed his boat, Simmonds said. The centre relayed the suspicious information to an RCMP marine patrol, he said, and it cut off Melchior’s craft before it reached the border. There was no high-speed pursuit. Simmonds said moving currency or contraband in large sums, such as the soggy cash recovered, is a common identifier for organized-crime activity. Once the case ends, the $2.6 million will be diverted to the federal government’s general revenues, Simmonds said. — Cowichan News Leader Pictorial/Black Press

neering and took my MBA,” says Black. “I ended up as a �inancial analyst for the Toronto Star for a couple of years and started to like the (newspaper) business. I particularly liked the weeklies.” When his father told him that the Tribune was being sold, Black asked if he could buy it. “He just laughed and said, ‘Why do you think I told you?’” recalls Black fondly. The young Black family moved to Williams Lake “for a couple of years” but “fell in love with small town living” and stayed for a decade. While there Black learned the business at the grassroots level. “I learned a lot about the weekly newspaper business,” says Black. “When somebody left, whether it was an editor or a compositor or a sales rep or a circulation manager or … I ended up doing the job until we found a replacement. I really helped me the rest of my career because I actually know what it takes to do the job.” And from Williams Lake, Black began to expand his career and business. In 1980 he purchased the Ashcroft Journal (now the Ashcroft Cache Creek Journal). Today David Black lives in Victoria and Black Press includes more than 190 publications, in B.C., the Prairies, Washington State and a daily in both Hawaii and Akron, Ohio. So why has Black Press been so successful? “I understand business, I have a head for business. But the trick is people. If you can surround yourself with people who are really good, you will succeed,” explains Black. “We have really good staff.” And that is part of the reason why community newspapers aren’t as threatened by the internet, say Black. “We are putting out as good a local paper as we can afford editorially. It shows in the numerous awards we receive every year and our readership.” says Black. “I think weeklies will continue very much the same, I don’t see

Matt Masters, a Calgary singer, guitar player and songwriter, will be showing his stuff Saturday, May 25 in the heart of Brentwood at the Centre For Active Living. Masters’ country and western music is known for its blend of the classic and contemporary and recently the musician has also been featured in film and television with a supporting role in the feature film A Legend of Whitey which was directed by Canadian director Dave Lawrence. Masters is also currently working on an upcoming TV feature. Brentwood Music in the Park fans may recognize Masters from Barney Bentall’s Grand Cariboo Opry, something he participates in each year,
where he trades off writing and presenting song intros with Barney. In 2009 Masters was awarded the Telus Arts Award for Artistic Innovation at the Mayor’s Evening for Business and the Arts in Calgary. The award recognized his body of live performance and his ability to build unique musical events. Masters has a degree in History from the University of Calgary and spent two years as the General Manager of the Toronto Blues Society and has shared the stage with the likes of Corb Lund, Paul Brandt, Blue Rodeo and many more. Tickets for Masters’ show are $12 and are available at The Dollar Den and Breadstuffs Bakery in Brentwood Bay. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show stars at 7:30 p.m. For more information call 250-652-1758.

Pen Track athlete leads the way in Port Alberni Ben Sammons captures 80m and 200m hurdles events at the Bob Dailey Memorial Track Meet Danny Daniels Contributor
Two Peninsula Track and Field Club athletes have been on a winning streak recently. In two recent meets, Ben Sammons and Connor McCullough, both 13-years-old, have continued to pile up winning performances in both track and field events. For Sammons, capturing both the 80m and 200m hurdles events as well as the flat 200m, plus the javelin throw in Port Alberni at the Bob Dailey Memorial Track Meet were a huge highlight. He also claimed second place in the 100m and the long jump and reached new personal bests in the javelin, discus and 80m hurdles at the Dogwood Track Meet in Victoria.

Pen Track athlete Ben Sammons captured both the 80m and 200m Hurdles events at the Bob Dailey Memorial Track Meet in Port Alberni on the May 4 and 5 weekend. At the Dogwood meet, McCullough had quadruple wins in the 200m, 300m, 200m hurdles and long jump as well as placing
second in the 100m and third in the shot. Another particularly satisfying result for the Pen Track Team
at the Bob Dailey meet was the sweeping of the Girls 14 hammer throw event by Meagan Peterson, who won with a toss of 26.48m, fol-

lowed in second and third by Julia Irwin and Sarah Gibson. Irwin also won the shot put and placed in both the 80 and 200m hurdles races, while Gibson took first in the discus. Other winning performances for younger athletes came from Jacqueline Gaby (16) in the 1500m race walk, Amelia Casciola, 16, in the 1500m and 2000m steeplechase, Finn Battersby, 13, in the 1200m and 2000m races, Connor Loughnane, 11, in the 100m and Matteo Hilton, 11, in the 800m race walk. Twelve-year-olds Blake Furtado, Jonathan Cowley, Thomas Healey and Isaiah Smith also had several silver and bronze placements, as did Brennan Hopkins, 13, Eric Huber,10 and Alexis Van Den Bulk, 9. At the Masters level, Pen Track continues to dominate in the throwing events at both meets, led by Les East (M70), Don Brodeur (M60), Phil Brodeur (M90) and Carl Jensen (M40) and Anne Murfitt (W50). — Danny Daniels is a regular Peninsula News Review contributor, covering local track and field.

Air cadet Allister Helton and his shooting coach Doug Tellier with Helton’s medal haul. on his accuracy. “It’s his stumbling block,” added Tellier. To help get past that, Helton is firing 3,000-plus rounds in both practice and in local competitions throughout the season. Come the nationals, said Tellier, and Helton shot between 250 and 260 rounds. “You have to be aware of every shot,” said the coach, “and try to hit a pinhead every time. Everything has to be meticulous — you cannot waver — and to do it time after time, after time, it can be mentally tough.” Helton, who lives in Central Saanich, said his goal to improve his shooting is to hone his concentration and try to relax as he
shoots. He is getting better at it and earned three third place and two second place finishes at the national event. He was also given a laminated scorecard of a perfect 100 he achieved during the competition. Tellier added that if Helton earns a few more of those 100s, he will set a squadron record. The season is almost finished for Helton and his peers with the air cadets. The squadron holds its annual cadet review on Saturday, June 1 after which they stand down for the summer. Cadets go back in session in September and for Helton, it’s back to practice and concentrating on returning to the national shooting competition.

Allister Helton came very close to quitting cadets three years ago, but something kept pulling him back. Now, he’s very happy he stuck with it after winning five medals at a shooting competition in Ontario. The 16-year-old sergeant in the 676 Kittyhawk Air Cadet Squadron in Sidney finished in eighth place out of around 120 cadets from across the country in a national air rifle competition May 4 to 11 in St. Catherines, Ontario. For Helton, it is a big improvement over his 15th place finish last year — and now he has his sights set on doing even better next year. Early on, however, he said he was looking for reasons to stick with the Air Cadet program. “I was ready to leave cadets after my first year,” he said. “I didn’t think there was anything for me.” He had been learning how to shoot air rifles with the local squadron under the training of Second Lieutenant Doug Tellier, the squadron’s range coach and supply second in command. Helton admitted he found Tellier a little scary at the time. After trying many other things - including the flight simulator - Helton said he decided to stay and even try shooting again. “I was more committed to do something in my second year,” he said. “I really wanted to stay in cadets, so I wanted to make it work.” What made it click, he continued, was he found that the effort he was putting into his shooting was starting to pay off. Tellier said he saw talent in Helton early on and has since been working with him to improve his technique. For Helton, his biggest challenge is the mental side of the sport. He said he can get nervous in competition — and that has a big impact

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.
